  • Yodler’s Fondue: A Winter Family Favorite

    This evening my kids helped me create my first contribution to “The International Cooking Show,” sharing our favorite family recipe for fondue. We recorded this in one take on my iPhone, and I edited it in iMovie ’09. I used the iMovie settings shown in Steven Sande’s post, “How to make iPhone videos sparkle with…

  • Holiday Video Fun with an iPhone and iMovie 09

    This afternoon my 9 year old daughter planned, directed, and starred in her third cooking program in a series she has titled, “The International Cooking Show.” This time around she demonstrated how to cook holiday sausage balls, and had her younger sister participate in the program as well.

  • Great Prime Rib!

    This is the recipe I used this past Christmas to successfully cook a quite succulent prime rib for our Lubbock family. Turkey pales in comparison to the amazing flavor of a well-cooked prime rib! 🙂
